Id never guess Hyberbole to be a art student based on this rant on the employee board
 

Hyperbole

SUBJECT: can someone warn coffee spoons, please?

I would, but I don't have anything to threaten with because he doesn't post on the SP board.

The racism was just *barely* amusing in an absurd kinda way, but the picture in his sig of the black guys being hanged has pushed it too far. I find it really offensive, and it's not something I want popping up on my screen every time I scroll through a thread. Also, I feel sorry for those at work, with no NSFW warning. I'm sure most of the (less obnoxious) people on the boards would agree.

so if you could just ask him to cut it out, and maybe edit the signatures for him or something, it'd be greatly appreciated. thanks.

It's funny how she's open-minded until she hears something that is offensive to her.

For those of you keeping score, Hyperbole's white by the way.

i think its fucking offensive and sick too.

Most people do. I agree with Hyperbole.

Her skin color, and maintaining a 'liberal' board or whatever aren't important issues when you make light of people being killed.

obviously if he thinks this shit is funny.

if i wasn't a white arayan jew-and-nigger-hating klansman (i.e., if i was one of you guys) i would look at this picture in one of two ways:

1) a thought-provoking example of how far we've come as a society and a horrid reminder of what was acceptable in our society less than 75 years ago (all this of course begs the question - have we really come that far as a society?)

or

2) i'd be able to take comfort in the fact that the white males in hats are all resting safely in hell now (as someone pointed out last week).

how can you be offended by the events of the past? should we all pretend that white Americans used to form mobs to plant pretty daisies instead of lynch negros?

Just for those that want to do so...

obviously not everyone is taking it that way, and by keeping it there you yourself are remaining ignorant and disrespectful to other people's opinions and thoughts.

yeah, they probably still do live in Mississippi.

Let me get this right. I'm being disrespectful to other people's thoughts and opinions because I choose to express my own thoughts and opinions, which happen to be different. sppunk much?

You may want to do some reading on American History. Start by checking out some literature on the time period around 1776-present.

Well right. I'm not proposing we wipe it from our collective conscious and pretend it never happened (what Irrelevant suggested was being said) - all I'm saying is that, right, this isn't a history class. It's a public forum.

If you want to discuss lynching and the Klan (etc.), you should do it in a much more respectful manner. Personally, whats really disturbing is how he defends his ability to flagrantly post pictures of people being murdered. That's my issue.

Stop trying to sound smart.

You tried to make a funny joke, tried to push the Netphorian envelope and do something that we might still possibly find controversial. And since you upset a few people, I guess you got it right. But don’t pretend it was anything more then a stupid spur of the moment decision.

You’re an idiot; don’t come front your stupid façade now. It makes you look like more of an inbred hick.

precisely.

this isn't a history class.

You, hyperbole, and the other WASP's are afraid to take such a graphic look at your collective past and turn into censorship Nazi's when someone confronts you with it. That's my issue.

I'm not offended by the events that occurred in the past, I'm offended by some dude making racist remarks and posting cruel pictures. people like that are just emphasizing the prejudism that already occurs far too much today in the world. grow up, get educated, and stop being so fucking stupid.

Barring whatever our individual histories may be, your presumption to prove to us our historical wrongs is not your place, and nor is this the place to do it. Yeah, you're cute & controversial, but the subject you chose is just too fucking far. It'd be just as bad as if it was a picture of people murdered in the Gulags in Russia - not my fault whatsoever - but you'd still be mocking death and murder. That is wrong, and I will not stop arguing against it.

I'll take option 3 instead.

3) Your a fucking moron.

I didn't mean to suggest that I post here to prove your historical wrongs. I post racist propaganda and preach the gospel of white love and aryan hate because it's what I was put on this Earth to do.

I simply meant that, assuming arguendo, I was an unpure nigger lover like you, I would be able to learn something about what our so-called historical wrongs.

And a subject could never be too controversial or stray too far from acceptablility if all that is posted are historically accurate pictures. If it happened, then it's inherently acceptable for discussion, assuming the place is a public forum like this.

actually it's you're.

But by using it in your signature you aren't opening discussion for it (outside of our outcries), you're simply putting it on display. Perhaps you should have started a pic post for white power rednecks?

I'm going to sleep now; someone else argue.

that sig pic is retarded.

here's a good sig pic:

You have a point here. I'll sleep on it.

Even a hate-monger like coffee spoons has to get sleep sometime.

you forgot option 4, STFU.

and option 5, perhaps coffee spoons actually is Hyperbole.

and option 6, you speak for about 10% of Netphoria, not 50%. That 10% being the population which represents the Pussification of North American Society.

SO WHY CANT U POST THIS MALARKY SHIT WHEN U OUR LOGGED IN AS NIMBRONDS SON DOES IT MAKE IT MORE FUNNIER WHEN YOU'R EALL LOWL I'M A SON OF A BITCH CUNT AND I EAT NEGRO BABIES FOR BREAKFAST HOWSABOUT I PICK SOME COTTON MASSA BITCH KNUCKLE CUNT FUCK. I THINK YOU CAN BE RACIST KLANSMEN ALL YOU WANT BUT HAVE SOME COMMON DECENCY BECAUSE SOME OF US ARE HERE TO PICK UP ON CHICKS AND BEAT OFF TO PICTURES OF EVES VERTICAL SMILEYS INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT SOME DUDE THATS TRYING TO BE ALL HIP TO THE DEEP SOUTH INBRED FUCK ATTITUDE LIKE THATS ANYTHING INTERSTING OR THOT PROBVOKING ANYWAY. JUST TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND SHOW US THAT BIG NIGGER HATING COCK.

how so? this forum doesn't have many rules. don't flood. try to NSFW. that's about it.

man, i think that i've already violated that a couple of times today. :erm

ok, shut the fucking board down then. want me to send you a list of threads that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oreiented, hateful, or threatening? it would take me a while just to do today's.

that's just a common legal sign off thing. tell me when it's actually been applied. only when it's convenient, that's right.

I just want to know why my name was brought up. :/

1. that is funny.
2. the line was crossed, it's as simple as that. nobody needs to see that much hate in their lives. if coffee spoons wants to bring that kind of material into the boards, he should be respectful, and use open discussion.
3. thankyou Hyperbole and others for raising this issue.

Ha, I'm sorry...
But, um, who are you?

Heh.
I like you too? I dont know what to say under the circumstances...

Haha, yes, I do!

Chrissy?

Haha.

Good to see you again, I wont forget this time, promise.
